Introduction

It’s probably no great secret that that flagship computer hardware products get much of the hype, and while more mainstream may not get the same degree of attention, they may in fact be even more important since they typically occupy a much larger marketshare. The simple fact is that many people simply cannot afford the newest premium hardware components. So the question of value then becomes perhaps even more critical, as consumers look for what can get them the most for their hard-earned money.

Along these lines, Intel’s H55 chipset is a mainstream component for the Intel LGA1156 platform, offering integrated graphics and a very good array of features that consumers in this segment typically look for. The H55 boards come in various flavours, and today we are looking at one from ASUS.

The ASUS P7H55D-M EVO is one such H55 product, a micro ATX motherboard that offers respectable features such as USB 3.0 for value-conscious consumers. Sporting a solid array of video connection ports and a price of approximately $120 or so, the P7H55D-M EVO looks to be a very nice option for LGA1156 value seekers.

Let’s take a closer look at what the ASUS P7H55D-M EVO brings to the game.
